[Figure 4] FIG. 3 is a view corresponding to FIG. 2 and is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a fitting portion in a third embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] At least the following points will become apparent from the description of this specification and the accompanying drawings.

[0011] This squid horn has an internal space for holding an attractant, a hook portion for hooking the target for capture, and a main body portion having an internal space, the main body portion having an upper main body portion located at the top and a lower main body portion located at the bottom, the upper main body portion having a thread attachment portion for attaching a thread and an upper fitting portion for closing the internal space, and the lower main body portion having a hook attachment portion for joining the hook portion and a lower fitting portion for closing the internal space, characterized in that the upper fitting portion and the lower fitting portion are fitted together using a method that does not use adhesive.

[0012] According to such a storage container, it is possible to reduce the cost of producing the squid horns by not using adhesive to join the main body portion.

[0013] <Regarding the First Embodiment> The squid horn 1 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the appearance of the squid horn 1 according to the first embodiment, and Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of part A in Fig. 1, which is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the fitting portion in the first embodiment.

[0014] As shown in Fig. 1, squid horn 1 comprises a main body 10, an internal space 11 inside main body 10, and a needle portion 12 at the bottom of the main body. Main body 10 comprises an upper main body portion 13 and a lower main body portion 14. The material of main body 10 may be any material as long as it can be easily processed into the desired shape and internal space 11 can be visually observed from the outside of squid horn 1; for example, glass, metal, plastic (biodegradable plastic), wood, etc. can be used.

[0015] The squid horn 1 is usually used with an attractant 11a placed in the internal space 11. The attractant 11a is a member for attracting the interest of the squid (prey) (target for capture) and for drawing the squid to the squid horn, thereby catching the squid with the hook part 12.

[0016] Additionally, upper main body 13 is provided with line attachment portion 13a at its upper portion for tying a fishing line extending to the sea, and upper fitting portion 13b at its lower portion for closing internal space 11. Lower main body 14 is provided with needle attachment portion 14a at its lower portion for attaching (joining) needle portion 12, and lower fitting portion 14b at its upper portion for sealing internal space 11.

[0017] The main body portion 10 is formed by fitting the upper main body portion 13 and the lower main body portion 14 together to close the internal space 11, but in the first embodiment, the upper fitting portion 13b and the lower fitting portion 14b are fitted together using a method that does not use adhesive.

[0018] In other words, the squid horn 1 of the first embodiment is a squid horn 1 equipped with an internal space 11 for holding an attractant 11a, a hook portion 12 for hooking the target for capture, and a main body portion 10 having the internal space 11, the main body portion 10 having an upper main body portion 13 located at the upper portion and a lower main body portion 14 located at the lower portion, the upper main body portion 13 having a thread attachment portion 13a for attaching a thread and an upper fitting portion 13b for closing the internal space 11, the lower main body portion 14 having a hook attachment portion 14a for joining the hook portion 12 and a lower fitting portion 14b for closing the internal space 11, and is characterized in that the upper fitting portion 13b and the lower fitting portion 14b are fitted together using a method that does not use adhesive.

[0019] In this way, in manufacturing the squid horn 1, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of the squid horn 1 by not using adhesive to join the main body portion 10.

[0020] Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of part A in Fig. 1, which is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the fitting portion in the first embodiment. As shown in Fig. 2, the upper body portion 13 and the lower body portion 14 are fitted to each other by a screw structure, with the upper fitting portion 13b having an internal thread and the lower fitting portion 14b having an external thread.

[0021] That is, in the squid horn 1 according to the first embodiment, the fitting structure between the upper fitting portion 13b and the lower fitting portion 14b is a screw structure. This screw structure makes it easy to attach and detach the upper and lower bodies of the squid horn. Any commonly used screw may be used, and metric coarse threads or fine threads may be used, as well as parallel pipe threads or tapered threads. In addition, if it is desired to increase airtightness, it is possible to use packing such as an O-ring to prevent leakage.

[0022] Furthermore, the screw structure allows the upper body 13 and the lower body 14 to be easily attached and detached (manually without using special tools). This makes it easy to replace the attractant 11a. For example, when the attractant 11a deteriorates over time and becomes dull and needs to be replaced, or when the attractant 11a needs to be replaced depending on the time of day or night when squid fishing is performed, the weather (sunny or rainy), the fishing location (shore or offshore), the target water depth, or the target to be caught (pacific flying squid, spear squid, etc.), it becomes easy to replace the attractant 11a with a more suitable one.

[0023] In other words, in the squid horn 1 according to the first embodiment, the upper body part 13 and the lower body part 14 can be attached and detached multiple times, and the first attractant (e.g., an attractant that has deteriorated with age, an attractant that is inappropriate for the fishing conditions, etc.) can be replaced with the second attractant (e.g., a new attractant, an attractant that is appropriate for the fishing conditions, etc.). This makes it possible to replace the first attractant with a second attractant that is more appropriate for catching depending on the catching environment (date, time, location, water depth, catch target, etc.) and deterioration with time. Furthermore, when the squid horn 1 deteriorates with age, instead of replacing and discarding the squid horn 1, only the attractant 11a can be replaced and discarded, so that an environmentally friendly squid horn 1 can be provided.

[0024] Furthermore, the upper body portion 13 and the lower body portion 14 are fitted together in a sealed state within the internal space 11 of the main body portion 10, and seawater or the like does not enter the internal space 11 at 10 atmospheres (depth of 100 m). That is, in the first embodiment, the internal space 11 is sealed and is watertight at a depth of 100 m.

[0025] In this way, even at a depth of 100 m, there is no water entering the internal space 11, and the performance of the attraction 11a, etc. is not deteriorated, so the watch can be used without this. The 10-atmosphere water resistance is in accordance with JIS B 7021:2013 General-purpose waterproof portable watches - types and water resistance.

[0026] Furthermore, the attractant 11a may be any material that fits within the internal space 11 and attracts the squid by attracting them. In the first embodiment, however, a liquid attractant 11a is used, which is not usually used.

[0027] That is, in the squid horn 1 according to the first embodiment, the attractant 11a is liquid. This is possible by having water resistance up to 10 atmospheres as described above. And, because the attractant 11a is liquid, it is possible to manufacture the attractant 11a by mixing various substances with a liquid base for the attractant 11a. In other words, the options for the attractant 11a are expanded, and it is possible to select the attractant 11a that is more suitable for the target to be captured.

[0028] 2, the internal space 11 is formed by an upper internal space 11u and a lower internal space 11d. The upper internal space 11u and the lower internal space 11d both have substantially cylindrical portions, and when the upper main body portion 13 and the lower main body portion 14 are fitted together, the cylindrical portions of both come into contact with each other to form the internal space 11.

[0029] In the upper first embodiment, the diameter d1 of the substantially cylindrical portion of the internal space 11u and the diameter d2 of the substantially cylindrical portion of the lower internal space 11d are different, and the diameter d1 is smaller than the diameter d2.

[0030] Then, as shown in FIG. 2B, a step is created in the internal space 11, and the upper internal space 11u has the effect of covering the lower internal space 11d, thereby making it possible to further increase the degree of sealing of the internal space 11.

[0031] In other words, the internal space 11 in the first embodiment is formed by the upper internal space 11u of the upper main body portion 13 and the lower internal space 11d of the lower main body portion 14, and the upper internal space 11u and the lower internal space 11d abut at their cylindrical portions, and the diameter d1 of the cylindrical portion of the upper internal space 11u is different from the diameter d2 of the cylindrical portion of the lower internal space 11d.

[0032] In this case, the difference between the diameter d1 of the upper internal space 11u and the diameter d2 of the lower internal space 11d creates a step between the upper internal space 11u and the lower internal space 11d, so that the internal space 11 can be further sealed.

[0033] <Regarding the Second Embodiment> Next, the squid horn 101 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 3 corresponds to Fig. 2 and is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the fitting portion in the second embodiment.

[0034] In the following description, only the differences from the first embodiment will be described. In other words, the features different from the first embodiment will be described in detail, and the description of the parts having the same configuration as the first embodiment will be omitted.

[0035] 3, a seating surface protrusion 114a, which is a protrusion, is provided on the seating surface of the lower main body portion 114. The seating surface protrusion 114a is provided circumferentially and continuously on the outer side of the lower fitting portion 114b on the seating surface of the lower main body portion 114. When the upper fitting portion 113b and the lower fitting portion 114b are screwed together, the seating surface protrusion 114a is deformed while coming into contact with the seating surface of the upper main body portion 113, thereby forming the upper main body portion 113 and the lower main body portion 114.

[0036] In other words, the squid horn 101 of the second embodiment has a circumferentially continuous seating surface protrusion 114a on the seating surface of the upper fitting portion 113b or the lower fitting portion 114b, and when the upper fitting portion 113b and the lower fitting portion 114b are fitted together, the seating surface protrusion 114a on one side (lower main body portion 114) deforms and comes into continuous contact with the seating surface on the other side (upper main body portion 113).

[0037] In this way, the seating surface protrusion 114a comes into contact with the opposing seating surface (the seating surface of the upper main body portion 113) in a crushed manner, making it possible to further increase the water density.

[0038] <Regarding the Third Embodiment> Next, the squid horn 201 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 4 corresponds to Fig. 2 and is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the fitting portion in the third embodiment.

[0039] The squid horn 201 according to the third embodiment has two circumferentially continuous recesses in the upper fitting portion 213a of the upper main body portion 213, and has two circumferentially continuous protrusions in the lower fitting portion 214a of the lower main body portion 214. The two recesses in the upper fitting portion 213a and the two protrusions in the lower fitting portion 214a are arranged so that they fit into each other when the upper main body portion 213 and the lower main body portion 214 are fitted together.

[0040] In other words, in the squid horn 201 of the third embodiment, one side (upper main body portion 213) of the upper fitting portion 213a and the lower fitting portion 214a has a concave portion and the other side (lower main body portion 214) has a convex portion, and when the upper fitting portion 213a and the lower fitting portion 214a are fitted together, the concave portion and the corresponding convex portion fit together.

[0041] Then, since the recess and protrusion are fitted together, the upper body part 213 and the lower body part 214 of the squid horn 201 can be easily attached and detached. In the third embodiment, the recess and protrusion are provided in two places, but this is not limited thereto, and they may be provided in one place or in three or more places.

[0042] <Other embodiments> The above embodiment is for the purpose of facilitating understanding of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention may be modified or improved without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and it goes without saying that the present invention includes equivalents thereof.

[0043] In addition, in the above embodiment, for example, the screw structure was such that the upper body portion 13 was a female thread and the lower body portion 14 was a male thread, but this is not limited to this, and the upper body portion 13 may be a male thread and the lower body portion 14 may be a female thread.

[0044] In addition, the present invention may include at least the following embodiments, which may be adopted separately or in combination with each other.

[0045] (1) The upper body and the lower body can be attached and detached multiple times, and the first attractant can be replaced with the second attractant, so that the first attractant can be replaced with a second attractant that is more suitable for catching depending on the catching environment (date, time, place, water depth, target, etc.) and deterioration over time.

[0046] (2) The internal space is sealed and is watertight at a depth of 100 m. This means that there is no water entering the internal space at a depth of 100 m, and the performance of the attractant, etc. can be used without being deteriorated.

[0047] (3) The attractant is characterized in that it is liquid. In this case, since the attractant is liquid, it is possible to produce the attractant by mixing various substances with the liquid base of the attractant, so that the options for the attractant are expanded, and it is possible to select an attractant that is more suitable for the target to be captured.

[0048] (4) The fitting structure between the upper fitting portion and the lower fitting portion is a screw structure. In this way, the upper body and the lower body of the squid horn can be easily attached and detached because of the screw structure.

[0049] (5) The seat of the upper fitting part or the lower fitting part is provided with a seat protrusion that is continuous in a circumferential shape, and when the upper fitting part and the lower fitting part are fitted together, the seat protrusion provided on one side is deformed and comes into continuous contact with the seat of the other side. In this way, the seat protrusion comes into contact with the opposing seat in a crushed manner, making it possible to further increase the water density.

[0050] (6) The upper and lower fitting parts have a concave portion on one side and a convex portion on the other side, and when the upper and lower fitting parts are fitted together, the concave portion fits into the corresponding convex portion. In this way, the upper and lower main body parts of the squid horn can be easily attached and detached by fitting the concave portion into the convex portion.

[0051] (7) The internal space is formed by an upper internal space of the upper main body part and a lower internal space of the lower main body part, the upper internal space and the lower internal space are in contact with each other at a cylindrical portion, and the diameter of the cylindrical portion of the upper internal space is different from the diameter of the cylindrical portion of the lower internal space. In this way, a step is created between the upper internal space and the lower internal space due to the difference in diameter between the upper internal space and the lower internal space, so that the internal space can be further sealed.
